Only have driven home in it (20 miles) so Im just getting used to it.

Im going to do as the book says and run it in for 625 miles then all the revs are mine!!!

It seems very quiet inside so I may get an exhaust in the future.

It had the Cup 172 badges missing from the side of the car so they are on order!

Well I just want to get the running in period over and get used to it so I can drive normally.

Some Cup owners have had their cars on the rollers and are putting down about 180 BHP at the flywheel, we dont know what Renault have done to them, but its good.

I think 0-62 6.6
0-100 16.9
Top end 139MPH
1/4 mile 14.8


Renault are bring out there own mods that dont invalidate your warranty, I have been told the ECU is ready and I goes for £200.
A group N exhaust and filter should be ready soon.

Cant wait

Cups definitely quicker and alot sharper than 172 in handling department. Well worth the sacrifice IMHO.
